Will you be able to help me get external scholarships in addition to the university scholarship I have received in UK?
You can usually combine external grants with your existing university scholarship, as long as they do not both cover the same exact expenses. Explore government programs like Chevening or Commonwealth Scholarships, search platforms such as Blackbullion or the UCAS tool, and check charitable trusts and livery companies in your field.
Your university scholarship does not have to be your only source of funding. Many external grants, trusts, and partial awards can be combined with it, as long as they are not covering the exact same cost twice.
Where To Search For External Funding
| Source Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Government and official bodies | Chevening, Commonwealth Scholarships, GREAT Scholarships |
| Independent search platforms | Blackbullion, The Scholarship Hub, UCAS search tool |
| Charitable trusts and guilds | UK livery companies, Charles Wallace Trust, Rotary Grants |
Before You Apply For More Funding
- Check your existing scholarship's terms, since some fully funded awards require you to report other funding you receive.
- Confirm your fee status and citizenship, as many external grants target specific nationalities.
- Target awards that cover different costs, such as travel or living expenses, rather than duplicating your tuition award.
My Advice
Read your original scholarship's fine print this week to confirm reporting rules, then apply to two or three external trusts that cover living costs or travel specifically, since these rarely overlap with a tuition focused university award.
